Comments:

This lathe was in a shop in southern Maine, where it sat unused for some thirty odd years. It had been acquired with the purchase of a shop in Saugus, MA, and originally came from the Dorchester Turning Company in Boston.

Approximately 18' overall length, with bed beams of heart pine. Accessories include three banjos, a five foot tool rest, two three foot rests, some smaller rests, face plates, etc. Missing several t-bolts, and in need of restoration.
